ok, so I haven't had too much time to dig into it, but i did change the version number on the json file that tells the game what version the mod is compatible with, and the mod seemed to have been working when i launched just the mod and Space age base game mods. so until i figure out how to upload the files and ensure things are working as intended that is a workaround you can use to use the mod in 2.1 until i get it updated.
